Wasting Food is Wasting Life

Wasting food is wasting life

Unlike humans, food doesn’t judge us or discriminate against us. Food doesn’t value us any less or more depending on how we treat it. It gives and gives and takes nothing back. Food is life. Respect.

At GRUNDIG, we feel that it‘s our responsibility to lead the fight against food waste. To remind the world not to take food for granted, but to treat it with care. Because respecting food is the only way to make our earth the best home to be.

Only in 2016, we saved 25 tonnes of food, 4 community kitchens have been launched and 48.300 dishes served across these project.

As a global brand with a strong eco conscience, by adopting Respect Food initiative, we champion the cause of reducing the food waste. Our «Respect Food» initiative aims to inspire everyone to fight with food waste, to instruct how to tackle the waste in the kitchens with innovative products.

How much food do you waste?

Did you know that a third of the world’s annual food production ends up in the trash? That’s 1.3 BILLION TONNES of edible food wasted. It’s food that could feed 868 million of the world’s hungry. In fact, it’s 4-times the amount of food they need to lead nourished lives.
